Turning the tables on classic boat show They came to see finely crafted skiffs, beautifully restored steamboats, classic runabouts and jet boats in their original condition – but no one, not even the organisers expected to see a dining table mounted with an outboard motor. Peter Thwaites, a Blenheim furniture maker, stunned the large crowd at the 14th New Zealand Antique and Classic Boat Show at Lake Rotoiti over the weekend when he unveiled his converted table-boat and then took it for a spin in the Seagull race. Peter says the idea was a “moment of weakness” and came years after seeing a similar concept on the internet. “We decided to do something a bit crazy. That’s how it started and it evolved from there, adding more horsepower until it got really dodgy. It’s a classic design from centuries ago – it’s a table.”

Drink driver shocks local couple A local couple say they were shocked when told by Nelson police that there was nothing wrong with a man drinking from a bottle of beer while driving. The couple say they were leaving a Nelson supermarket when they noticed a man getting into the driver’s seat of a car with an open bottle of beer. One of the concerned citizens approached the man and told him

Andrew Board Editor

andrew@nelsonweekly.co.nz what he was doing was illegal and that he would call the police if he didn’t stop. They say the man drove off laughing. But the couple, who didn’t want to be

named, were stunned when told by Nelson police that it wasn’t illegal to drink and drive, only if the driver was over the legal limit and they weren’t interested in the car information they had collected. Tasman District road policing manager, Inspector Jenni Richardson says under the law it is not illegal for a driver over 20 years of age to drink while driving a motor ve-

hicle, provided they do not exceed the legal limit. But drivers under 20 years of age must adhere to a zero alcohol limit. “While it is not illegal, police do not encourage people to drink alcohol while driving. If an officer witnessed, or was made aware of, a person drinking while

“I did know that, but I would personally never do it.”

“No I didn’t know, but just because something is technically legal doesn’t make it right.”

“No, I though it was illegal. It is crazy. Why is that ok?”

“No I didn’t, but it’s been a while since I’ve had a drink. Why would you want to do that?”

Boat Show brings boating history alive FROM PAGE 1 He says he copped a lot of flack from his friends who didn’t even think the table would float. “Not only did it float but it floated with an outboard motor and someone on it. It went like a rocket but the first time we just had the table top on it, now it has a bit more buoyancy. A self-draining gadget that “half works” was the difference between the table floating and sinking to the bottom of the lake. Peter, who owns a classic Seagull motor, says he was stoked with the feedback from the table. “We never really intended to bring it up here but it just worked so well. We had a 15 horsepower

motor but that might have made a real spectacle so we just went for six horsepower this weekend.” He hadn’t attempted to fit two people on the table-boat as yet, for worry that it might sink. “We’ve come close to sinking it. A few of those waves were coming over the bow.” The future of the vessel was uncertain, although it was purpose built and made to be ridden on the water. “You can have your dinner on it, flick it over and off you go. We did actually have dinner on it before, with a tablecloth of course. It was built as a table obviously but more as a boat.” Boat show organiser Pete Rainey says it was another fantastic

weekend of stunning weather and boats. “It was a very diverse group of boats with real integrity in each category,” he says. “It’s always impressive to see the passion that people pour into their boats, and the enjoyment they get from meeting like-minded enthusiasts.” The show opened on Saturday with a fly over by two Blenheim based Nanchung aircraft, Chinese planes formerly used for training by the People’s Liberation Army. Prizes were given at an awards ceremony at Rotoiti Lodge on Saturday night with the Jens Hansen Cup for best vessel overall going to Chris Craft’s Custom 20ft powerboat Blondie, built in 1948 and restored in 2000.

Drink driver shocks local couple FROM PAGE 1 driving they would certainly stop them and check their alcohol consumption,” she says. She says if any other road users have concerns about the behaviour of a driver they should get the vehicle’s registration details and call police immediately. The couple say they can’t believe the law allows people to drink while they drive and says the man was driving around 3pm, when school children were making their way home. “I hope I do not read in the paper tomorrow of a poor child, or another innocent driver being hurt [because of this].”

Slogan blasted off church steps Andrew Board An attempt to raise awareness about the use of fossil fuels has partially backfired, with Nelson City Council cleaning the slogan off the city’s church steps before the event. A group of Nelson high school students were responsible for the chalk slogan which was put on the church steps on Thursday night in preparation for an awareness event on Saturday. The enthusiastic young activists had recently returned from a council-sponsored hui on the environment and were keen to make a difference. They were not aware their artistic actions on the church steps were not allowed though and the mother of two of the girls says they were just trying to do a good thing. “They were all excited and thought they had permission from the council to do this but it turns out they didn’t. They were just trying to do a good thing and raise some awareness about the 100% Possible campaign,” she told Nelson Weekly. The event was scheduled for Saturday but the chalk was waterblasted off by Downer contractors on Friday afternoon at a cost to ratepayers.

lovE SToriES: Another couple has been added to the list of finalists in the Jens Hansen Love Stories competition. Carol and Giuseppe Sardella, were selected as finalists but their names were not printed in the original story. Each week a story of one the seven finalists will run in the Nelson Weekly in the lead up to the Nelson Wedding Show in May, where the winner will be announced. gooD fork WEEk: Local businesses are this weekend launching a “healthy living hub” dubbed Good Fork Week. The event will see free cooking demonstrations, recipes and free fitness checks by City Fitness. The event is being held at the Vic Brew Bar on Friday, March 8 from 4-6pm, Saturday March 9 and Sunday March 10 from 126pm.There are plenty of prizes to be won as well including chef knifes, t-shirts, Vic Brew Bar vouchers and gym passes. The event is also supported by Raeward Fresh and Unilever Food Solutions. nEW CiTizEnS: Thirty new citizens were welcomed last Wednesday at a ceremony at Nelson City Council. There were 30 candidates from ten different countrieswho all now live in Nelson. They include: American, British, Dutch, German, Moroccan, Myanmari, Russian, Samoan, South African and Vietnamese.

The group’s efforts weren’t totally in vain though with a group of students taking their awareness event to central Trafalgar St on Saturday, instead of the orignal location at the church steps. One of the girls at the event said it went extremely well. “We’re really happy with how it’s going and the number of people we’ve been able to talk to about 100 per cent possible and what it is trying to

achieve for our country.” The 100% Possible campaign is a collaboration between Generation Zero and 350 Aotearoa and supported by WWF-NZ. It aims to make New Zealand free of fossil fuels and have the country operating entirely on renewable energy. To find out more infomation about the campaign visit 100percentpossible.org. nz.

St John celebrates new ambulance After two years of hard fundraising St John Nelson staff now have a new events ambulance to add to their fleet, a feat that they say couldn’t have been achieved without the generosity of the local community. Dennis Creed, chair of St John in Nelson says it was heartening to see such a huge effort put in by the community to fundraise for the new ambulance, which will provide first aid cover at events throughout the region. “I have been blown away by the community and their efforts, it’s been fantastic to have their support and

It’s their ambulance really.” St John in Nelson attends over 250 community events and sporting activities every year such as A & P Shows, school fairs, rugby, netball and speedway and the team on the ground are volunteers. Different businesses and groups throughout Nelson participated in a

range of fundraising activities to help St John Nelson get their ambulance raising $125,000 to purchase the fully equipped ambulance and Dennis says the charity is hugely grateful to people who donated to the cause. “Support from the community is a key part of what we do, the generosity of the community is very important for us.” Volunteer Gary Rooney says it is “fantastic” to have a dedicated events ambulance among the fleet. “The ambulance is state of the art, with the latest technology and more room. Having this ambulance means

Victory’s big day out Victory’s Little Day Out isn’t exactly living up to its name with over 3000 people attending the community event on Sunday afternoon. The crowds that headed down to Victory Square were treated to a fun day of music and food that is getting bigger and better every year says coorganiser Margo Ruhen. “It was a wonderful, relaxed, real family event and it keeps getting bigger every year. We always have a good crowd but people came along and stayed for the day this year which was fantastic to see.” The event kept true to its mad hatter theme with wacky hat contests, a Mad Hatters tea party and games of silly croquet with the “Queen of Hearts”. People were entertained by local musicians, art and craft stalls and a variety of international foods. Margo says the event was about welcoming the wider Nelson community into the Victory neighborhood and showcasing the many great things it had to offer and she says a highlight was seeing all the different people from outside the Victory community who attended. “It was really neat to see so many people drawn into the event from different areas of town.”

Walk to raise cash for Africa Phillip Rollo

Gideon Madtorino and Matt McDowell have organised a fun walk to Rabbit Island.

A Nelson charity set up last year to source clean water in parts of Africa will be holding a fun walk to Rabbit Island next month. The 15 kilometre challenge, where participants can either walk, run or bike, will begin at the ASB Aquatic Centre in Richmond and go along the new Great Taste Cycle Trail through to Rabbit Island on March 24. The event is being organised by Water for Prosperity, which is currently raising money to install bores in two high schools in the township of Torwood, which will provide clean running water for 1800 students who have not had running water at

their school for the past four years. The charity was setup by Gideon Matorino and Matt McDowell. Their knowledge of hydrology and engineering coupled with the lack of water facing some communities was the drive for setting up the charity, says Matt. Gideon experienced the water shortage first hand in 2012 when he and his family visited the town. There was no water to any houses during the first week. Therefore, the family fetched water from three groundwater bores which were located at the local primary schools. These three bores serviced the whole community of 30,000 inhabitants. After starting up the charity, Matt and

Gideon decided they needed to host key events that would grab the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention. Matt says event sponsor Nelson Coachlines has agreed to take a return bus, which includes the double-decker, back to Richmond for free, giving participants the unique chance to walk the track without having to organise someone to meet them with a car at the end of it. The event starts at 9am on Sunday and is likely to take three hours for walkers, one and a half hours for runners and one hour each way for cyclists. Toilets will be provided along the way. For further information please visit www. waterforprosperity.org or email info@wa terforprosperity.org.

Feedback sought Lioness club work up a sweat for exercise gear for city’s ‘vision’ A long term “vision and strategy” for Nelson is now open for feedback. Community leaders, organisations and groups in the areas of business, education, and social wellbeing have worked alongside Nelson City Council to finalise the draft to the Nelson 2060 strategy. Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio says the project has seen the council and the community working more closely together than ever. “I’m thrilled that after all the work that all sectors have put in we’ve developed this great tool that we can all use to guide us to the vision we have for our city in 50 years’ time and beyond.” Copies of the draft Nelson 2060 Strategy are now available on the council website, www. nelsoncitycouncil.co.nz with hard copies available to view at the council’s customer service centre in Trafalgar St and at the libraries in Nelson, Tahunanui and Stoke. Feedback is welcome until Thursday 28 March.

Members of the Lioness Club of Nelson got together for a group workout last week, their first as a group on the new fitness machines they’ve donated to the city. The group started with $1000 and the idea of a fitness trail at Tahunanui Beach. Since then donations from the Nelson North Lions Club, Fulton Hogan and a $33,500 grant from Nelson City Council, along with advice from Geoff Devine has seen the Lioness club finish the project, with 12 state-of-theart outdoor machines. They say they’re thrilled with how they look and the feedback they’ve had since they were installed, two days before Christmas. “There’s always someone on them and people say they use them all the time,” says club president Yvonne Kleiven. They say the machines are for the entire community but they did have people from their 50s up in mind when coming

Support growing for sign language

Sinead Ogilvie

It is a language you will never hear spoken but there are members of our community who rely on it to talk to others. New Zealand Sign Language is one of the

three official languages of our country alongside English and Te Reo Maori, but for most people in our community it is the one that is least known. While most members of a Nelson household could easily come out with a few words in Maori, the

number who could do the same with NZ Sign Language is a lot smaller. Local deaf woman Rachel Summers, a NZ Sign Language tutor is calling for more people to get in behind Nelson’s deaf community and learn the language through a community education programme at Nayland College. She says that although sign language should be integrated into our community, many people seem to think it is only for the deaf and says it’s a common misconception that it is only for those directly related to someone who is hearing impaired or deaf. “People think that sign language is just for the deaf and those close to them, but it is great for hearing people too. While many people use it in the workplace, as an educational tool or even just for fun, you don’t need a reason to want to learn.” Cathy Gutschlag, also a NZSL tutor, says there are many ways people who learn sign language can make a difference in the day-to-day life of a deaf person, including helping them to participate in things that hearing people take for granted. “People go about daily life thinking this or that is easy, but if you are deaf it is actually

Now she experiences church the same as everybody else, it makes such a difference.” Jana Bolton a local nursing student says she began learning NZ sign language because she thought it would be helpful in the workplace but says she now does it for the enjoyment too. “I do it because I love it. I love the language and it will be a great tool as a nurse to be able to communicate with deaf or hearing impaired people.” She says she found it an easier language to pick up than other foreign languages she had tried. “It is a lot easier because you can use all the visual aspects such as eye contact and body language alongside signing.” People who are interested in learning sign language can sign up for the beginner’s course starting on March 5 at Nayland College.

Wai-iti grower Peter Lines, pictured left, will harvest 23 tonne of hops over the next few weeks – a figure dramatically higher than what it was ten years ago. The Totara Brewing Company shareholder says the hop market has been hugely fluctuating over the years but the outlook was positive for the current season. Like each hop grower in NelsonTasman, Peter is part of the NZ Hops co-operative, which exports 97 per cent of its product overseas. He says a broadened customer base and the craft brewing revolution around the world is the reason for a positive approach to the season. Photo: Phillip Rollo.

Tuesday 26 February: A desperate plea to the public from an overrun SPCA has seen Nelson Weekly readers adopt more than six adult cats that were in need of a new home. Manager Donna Walzl says one local lady even came forward to take home the adult cat that had been at the SPCA for the longest. Tuesday February 26: Dennie Wastney let the Nelson Weekly know that it’s not the first time Stoke drains have been painted with environmental reminders. Several years ago The Lions Club of Nelson North combined with the Nelson City Council to carry out a project called ‘Drains are for Rain’. Over a period of months every drain grating had a gold fish painted alongside. Like the story featured last week, the object of this project was to inform the public that whatever goes down the drain eventually affects the fish at sea.

Brook Sanctuary and Museum Local ladies get physical sign education agreement Two of the region’s top education facilities have signed a memorandum of understanding in the hope of streamlining content for local school students. The Brook Waimarama Sanctuary Trust and the Nelson Provincal Museum last Thursday signed the agreement which will see the education programmes of the two “dovetailed” to give students an in-class, out-ofclass experience. Rick Field, project coordinator at the sanctuary says the two organisations have been cooperating around delivering high quality educational programmes for quite a while, covering all levels from early childhood to secondary schools. “Thousands of school children a year visit both of our facilities and we’re excited about taking this partnership to the next level with coordinated curricula and out-of-theclassroom experiences,” he says. “For example kids will experience an exhibit at the museum about powelliphanta snails, and then come up to the sanctuary and learn about the way the giant snails fit into the ecosystem and how pests are being controlled so they can be

with the outdoor classroom and laboratory opportunities found at the sanctuary,” he says. “We’re thrilled with this new partnership and think it will be of great benefit to the entire community.” The memorandum of understanding was signed in a ceremony at the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary on Thursday, with a group from Richmond Primary School on hand visiting the sanctuary for an educational programme.

Local agents have been quick to embrace the publication. Graeme Vining, licensee of and

joint managing director of Bayleys Nelson says he is very pleased with the results the agency has had since featuring in the magazine. “Now we are reaching people who are in the market to buy and sell and we are impressed with the results. People are definitely electing to pick up the Property Press. We have seen a huge increase in pick up from our office, the drop boxes are emptying at a rapid rate.” Darryl Marshall, principal of Haven Realty says Haven Realty Nelson and Richmond are excited about the way the public have responded to this proven national publication. “Through reducing wastage and providing our vendors with lower cost and high quality promotion that is solely property based and focused is one of the ways we have been able to make more direct contact with both current and potential vendors and purchasers.” If you are in the market for a new property or selling, the Nelson Property Press is now providing the local region with a highly effective tool that has been yielding exceptional results for decades.

Real ID taken from clubber: In response to your article "It's me, it's me - Local girl loses ID after she's told it's a fake". Whilst I sympathise with Gemma, unfortunately this procedure has to happen. The industry has to make every attempt to get fake ID's – and people who are using other people's ID’s – out of circulation. The bars are simply meeting their legal obligations to establish a reasonable system of control over the sale of alcohol. Gemma does look quite differ-

ent and it might be wise for her to get some ID which has a more up to date photo (for $20 she could invest in a HANZ 18+ card which she can apply for at any post office). The bars are working very hard to meet their host responsibilities and if the staff are in any doubt they should not serve or allow entry to the venue. Young people need to understand the Nelson hospitality industry wants them to come out and have a good time in a safe environment, but, if they are under 18 they will be sent home.

Open Friday 8 March The return of Nelson’s famous German eatery will see fans come in droves to taste the first bite of Kraut’s divine cuisine when it reopens this Friday. After moving from their Tahunanui site last year, owners of Nelson’s only German restaurant and bar say they cannot wait to unveil their brand new home in Montgomery Square. After having a successful start to business when they first opened Kraut’s in 2009, owners Raz Zulfiqar, Golo Martin and Jasmin Zulfiqar decided it was time to move to Nelson city, a move which now opens up an exciting option for dining out. The new premises has come after a year of

planning. After the team thought long and hard about what kind of experience they wanted to offer their customers, the finished product is nothing short of Gemütlichkeit, the German term for a situation with a cosy, cheerful mood, a place to enjoy great food and even better company. Custom designed with comfort and atmosphere as the focal point, Kraut’s has the key ingredients to spending a night out with friends and family. Customers feel almost at home at the bar which features customised high leaners, a cosy lounge bathed in sun and casual seating to allow for a catch up over a drink or two. Step up into the restaurant and its intimate and relaxed dining for a personal experience along with easy conversation. Kraut’s will be unveiled to the where great meat comes from public on Friday March 8, but it won’t be so much a grand opening as it will be a welcome home.

Montgomery Sq 0800 Kraut’s (572887) the closest restaurant to the Theatre Royal, whose customers will be able to stop by for a drink before a show or head out for a bite to eat afterwards, something that Jasmin says Nelson has lacked for many years. “Quite often theatre goers aren’t able to catch a drink or go out for dessert after a show so we are happy to be able to cater for them now.” The family owned and operated style of Kraut’s is the key to its success says Jasmin, manager of Kraut’s. The team are in the business for the love of sharing German food with the wider community, offering a taste of something unique and genuine crafted by their own hands. With her brother Raz Zulfiqar a qualified business lawyer on board as the director, partner Golo Martin a trained German Chef and her own years of experience in both the hospitality and tourism industry, Jasmin says the passion and expertise the team share is what makes Kraut’s a favourite among Nelsonians.

“A successful restaurant comes down to the care that is put into everything. It shows not only in the food and customer service, but in the atmosphere too.” Nothing goes down better than a cold beer and it’s even better when it’s German. Germany has been brewing since day one and it’s safe to say they are among the experts when it comes to beer. Kraut’s are famous for their two litre bird glass and have developed a huge following for their stein. As well as importing genuine HB beer from the Hofbräu brewery in Germany, Raz and the team have also teamed up with Nelson Bays brewery to brew their own genuine German beer that is now available at the bar. Their awesome Oktoberfest event was also a huge hit so watch this space for another one now they are back up and running.

Gr wing Things

With Robyn Hollis

Welcome to autumn folks and just about the only way we can tell it’s here at present is the slight chill and a little dew on the grass in the early mornings. The day temperatures are still high and it is a very different garden environment when compared with last season. We have had them stuffed, stir fried, in ratatouille, used them in fritters, cakes and muffins (great with a bit of chilli and feta in a savoury mix), sliced thinly and tossed with olive oil, garlic and lemon juice and thrown on the BBQ plate – possibly our favourite way – and just yesterday I gave in and made a chutney from a very old recipe book from two escaping ones that turned into small marrows! Yes, of course I am talking about zucchini or courgettes (depending on what school you went to or how old you are…) They have to be the most prolific of vegetables, just seem to go on and on. I swear the neighbours hide when they see me coming up the path “OH No, not more zucchinis!” Even the “golden girls” have had enough so I guess the compost gets them. I really feel that if I dish them up again, however well hidden, Johnno-who is a very patient and easy-going man will possibly break down! If anyone out there is having a similar ex-

perience and would like the chutney recipe just drop me an email to editorial@nel sonweekly.co.nz and I will pass it on. I love this time of year as the quince tree is laden and the fruit are just starting to turn a lovely golden colour. The blackboy peach is nearly ready to harvest – about two weeks away I reckon – the crab apples are starting to colour up well also.

Tips

Thisks wee

• Start thinking and planning for spring bulb planting – anemones, ranunculus, hyacinths, freesias, and crocus are just some of what is available now. • Tidy your house: Keep on top of weeds and clear out any tatty, tired annuals so you can ready the soil for autumn planting. • Plant leeks – low maintenance, pest free and delicious. • Keep sowing broccoli, sprouts, cabbage, cauli, but only where you can water them. Otherwise wait until we have had a rain. • Plant cover crops now on any areas of the garden that are not in use. Lupin, oats, barley are just a few choices. • Check for powdery mildew, which seems to be the March curse as the night temperatures fall and dew starts to form. Nature’s way fungus spray is not a bad way to go or you can use the old skim milk spray which is a mix of 10 parts water to one part milk. • Keep watering – try to keep it low so water is not left sitting on the leaves where possible. Water in the early morning from now on rather than the evening. Until next time – happy gardening

It all started when a group of Canterbury kayakers took to the Owen River for a weekend paddle. But the Buller Festival is now one of the largest white water events in the country, and it once again showed exactly why paddlers descend from around the country to experience the adrenaline rush that local rivers can offer. Speaking at the conclusion of the three day event held just outside of Murchison, organiser Ben Jackson says the Buller Festival made a successful return to the calendar after a two year break. “The area is such a fantastic resource and it really lends itself to a lot of different events in a very small area,” he says. “It really is what it is because of where it is. It started off with a casual weekend and it gradually became an event and has now evolved into what we seen on the weekend.” The turnout was down this year compared to when it was last held, but the skill set shown from the competitors was at an all time high, says Ben. A lot of the competitors come from Motueka and Nelson, with a good serving of Murchison kayakers, which includes Murchison Area School students. There were also paddlers from Central Otago, Auckland, Rotorua, Wellington, Hawke’s Bay and all through New Zealand. “We’ve had up to 160 competitors

before and I think people were just feeling the pinch money-wise this year.” The official programme featured the popular boater cross, which sees four kayakers race down the river together; rafter cross; kayak slalom; and the cardboard cup, which sees teams of two construct a vessel of their design from nothing but cardboard and duct tape. Local paddler Rob Hervey took out the open men’s Commercial Hotel Boater Cross and the kayak slalom, with Sophia Mulder winning the women’s boater cross and Kate Lawrence taking out the women’s slalom. Rob teamed up with Max Rayner and Blake Hornblow to win the team slalom. Team Donkey won the Ultimate Descents Rafter Cross. Despite smaller numbers, Ben says the kayaking culture in Nelson is still strong, which is partly because of the rivers available. “You need a dedicated team behind you to make it happen but we are so lucky because our rivers are so accessible. A bunch of us have spent time in the US where people drive eight or nine hours just to get to a river they can paddle.” For full results visit www.bullerfestival.co.nz.

Get ready for the return of one of Nelson Speedway Association’s must attend events. For the last few years the Brian Stanaway Roading Stock Shock has been an iconic speedway event on the calendar of not only Nelson’s best drivers but many of the top Stockcar drivers from around the country. Last year’s two day event saw some

incredible performances from those racing, and this year, the decision to combine the events over one day of carnage will see racers and spectators enjoy a fast paced and action packed show. The Stock Shock has a reputation for producing some of the hardest and most competitive racing in this class outside of a team’s event and already the excitement is build-

With this kind of competition lined up

it’s going to be a tough, close competition to call with each a favourite to move further up in the podium and take out the number one spot. The Ministock Mania championship for Youth Ministocks will be held during the event also. This is a highly contested event for youth drivers and one that is run over a points system. While the class is essentially designed as a training class rather than a competitive class the format
